Beal has 2 years left for 110 million. Feels like lighting money on fire but the #10 pick would be nice.

That is usually how it is with new management. They want to put their stamp on things. Walker trade incoming along with drafting Maluach.

This is where the numbers and the eye test diverged for me. The numbers say he is extremely efficient in the half court with lots of self creation. What I see is that it looks really difficult for him sometimes. Its disconcerting as things usually line up better for me when I watch guys. Makes...

The skillset is more well rounded but there is no special quality that's going to push him over the top or give him an edge vs. other creator types. Unless you see the well roundedness as a unique quality. I would say his best quality is his vision but the TO rate is sky high as well.

Going by advanced stats, he is actually a decent defender. His wingspan isn't great but its decent at 6'6" comparable to Fears at 6'5.3" and Kas at 6'7.8". The shooting is lights out at 62% TS and it seems he was underutilized at Michigan State. If this guy can bring 95% (or even more...) of...

Hmmmm, he does have craft to make something out of some of the drives he does. Sometimes, I think he uses his step back 3 as a crutch when he doesn't have the ability to get past guys. One possession sticks in my mind where Queen got switched on to him and he couldn't create any advantage...

I know exactly what you mean. For him, everything looks very difficult. Using everything in him, his dribbling and craft, he just barely gets by. There is this sense that when the margin closes in the NBA, he just won't be able to get by.

Think his bad start soured alot of people on him, me included. I probably need to go back and watch his recent games to see how he looks. He just seemed very similar to Collier.

He might be one of those guys who are underutilized in college and pop in the NBA. 62% TS and not a bad defender for his size. I think he is an option at 21.

To switch gears and talk about the 21st pick, what are yalls thoughts on Jase Richardson? I think we brought him in for a workout.

To anyone's knowledge, he hasn't had a workout with any team. He had one scheduled for the 76ers a couple of days ago and then promptly cancelled it the day before it was supposed to happen.

I'll mix it up this time and go Maluach

Stocks is a newer slang term referring to steals + blocks. Essentially making defensive plays. The more you know.

I don't know, he probably is more 4. Some analysts say he is a big. But I think he would have more value as a wing guy with his physical tools.

To be fair, I haven't dived in on Fleming too much. From a minor look, he seems to be the ideal 3&D big wing, incredible physical talents, shoots the 3, dunks constantly, great defensive disruptor. There must be something more fundamentally wrong with his game.

Strangely enough, I have seen Fleming fall down in alot of analyst mocks into the late 20s. It's completely possible Fleming is there at 21

I find your lack of faith.... disturbing.

And despite all the problems Fears has, he is still a more efficient scorer and better playmaker than Tre.

He draws a huge amount of fouls, probably drags his rim% down a bit.

Thats what happens when you aren't all that great in college and you don't have the athleticism/potential to fall back on.
